Well we finally got out the new memory card for the camera before we got into DC, so get ready for lots of pictures. Going into Washington, DC yesterday we drove through Chinatown; I guess every Chinatown needs a Kung Fu Gift Shop. . . We took advantage of our taxpayer dollars (thank you all!) and visited the Smithsonian.

We came face-to-face with some straight gansters

and some serious bling (the Hope diamond). . . If you think this geode is big this piece of quartz is HUGE! (Chris obviously thought so too)

At the Air and Space Museum, I got to find out that I wouldn't have been a stewardess back in the day. Did you know that they only selected white girls between 5'2" and 5'4"? (I'm just barely 5') Hmmm. . .high heels?

I did get to fly a Cessna though--I was even making airplane noises!

And then we were going to storm the capitol but then we realized we were illegally parked. . . We had a great time last night at the Red and the Black on the H Street corridor (that's what all the locals call it) Chris even got solicited. . . The show was FANTASTIC though; we played with Alexis George and Whiz Bang Three, two really fun acts from DC. We haven't seen our friend Vitka in over a year and she and some friends showed up last night!

The crowd last night was so awesome--we had a blast playing for you all! We'll be back to DC in February if not before. . .
